Let's read a scripture and say a prayer together. A Quick Moment With God Personal Message from Lisa Kane: When I first became a believer, I struggled with putting God first in my life. I prayed about it, and slowly began by reading just one verse a day and saying a short prayer. That simple step completely transformed my walk with the Lord. Over time, it became the most important part of my day. Now, every morning when I wake up and every night before bed, I spend time in God’s Word and in prayer. The Bible tells us in Matthew 6:33 (KJV): “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Make the decision today to commit your heart fully to the Lord. It will be the most life-changing—and the most important—choice you’ll ever make. Nov 4, 2026 Hebrews 11:1 NKJV Now faith is the [a]substance of things hoped for, the [b]evidence of things not seen.

House of Faith Ministries (HoFM) updates this website often. Here's the latest teaching. LATEST TEACHING Top of Page Untitled THE BLOOD THAT CANCELS JUDGMENT Presented by Minister Lisa Kane Published on 11.1.26 Objective: To reveal through Scripture how the blood of Jesus fulfills God's requirement for atonement, cancels the judgment of sin, and establishes believers under the new covenant. This teaching encourages believers to walk confidently in their redemption, declaring their faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Synopsis: Throughout Scripture, God reveals the power of blood to provide atonement and protection from judgment. From the Passover lamb in Egypt to Rahab's scarlet cord, we see how faith and obedience brought deliverance from destruction. These biblical accounts point to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, whose blood established a new covenant and secured eternal redemption for those who believe. This teaching explores how Jesus fulfilled the requirements of the law and how His blood cancels the judgment against those who place their faith in Him. Believers are encouraged to understand their righteousness through Christ, stand confidently in His finished work, and boldly declare their faith over every area of their lives. We do not declare the blood to make His sacrifice effective; we declare our faith because His sacrifice is already sufficient! Written Teaching: Leviticus 17:11 NKJV 11 For the life of the flesh isin the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’ Exodus 12:6-13 NKJV 6 Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight. 7 And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. 8 Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread andwith bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire—its head with its legs and its entrails. 10 You shall let none of it remain until morning, and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire. 11 And thus you shall eat it: [c ]with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord’s Passover. 12 ‘For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord. 13 Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. Exodus 12:21-23 NKJV 21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover lamb. 22 And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that isin the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning. 23 For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the [g ]lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you. When we look at Exodus 12 regarding the original Passover, we notice that the last plague, taking of the first-born son of all and beasts, is a judgment from God. God is bringing judgment against everyone. But God, in His divine wisdom, made a way for the Israelites to not be affected by this judgment. He gave instructions to the Israelites on what to do to avoid judgment. Note, God didn’t stop the judgment, He went ahead with the judgment. First, they needed to take a lamb and keep it in their homes for 14 days. Then they needed to kill the lamb at twilight on the 14thday. Then they needed to place the blood of the lamb in a basin where they would take a bunch of hissop, dip it into the blood and apply the blood to the doorposts and lintel. Also, they were not allowed to go outside during the night. These steps took obedience and faith. What is the purpose of the blood? The blood prevents judgment, rightly so judgment. Numbers 8:12 NKJV 12 Then the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the young bulls, and you shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to the Lord, to make atonement for the Levites. The priests of Israel, the Levites were told to make a sin offering and a burnt offering for their sins and to make atonement. According to dictionary.com ‘atonement’ means satisfaction or reparation for a wrong or injury; amends. Remember, we have all sinned and need atonement. Romans 3:19-26 NKJV 19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become [e ]guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all [f ]and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified [g ]freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a [h ]propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. God’s judgment, the law is against everyone and therefore we need the blood. Note, sacrificing bulls was a temporary covering against judgment, but the one who came, Jesus, the Son of God came to be the sacrifice against God’s righteous law so that we can have a covering over those who believe. God provided a way through His only begotten Son for those who believe to not be destroyed when He, would come against us. Thank God for Jesus’ blood. Where else do we see this in scripture? Joshua 2:17-21 NKJV 17 So the men said to her: “We will be blameless[d ] of this oath of yours which you have made us swear, 18 unless, when we come into the land, you bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you [e ]bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household to your own home. 19 So it shall be that whoever goes outside the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we will be [f ]guiltless. And whoever is with you in the house, his [g ]blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him. 20 And if you tell this business of ours, then we will be [h ]free from your oath which you made us swear.” 21 Then she said, “According to your words, so be it.” And she sent them away, and they departed. And she bound the scarlet cord in the window. Joshua 6:17 NKJV 17 Now the city shall be doomed by the Lord to destruction, it and all who are in it. Only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. Joshua 6:22-23 NKJV 22 But Joshua had said to the two men who had spied out the country, “Go into the harlot’s house, and from there bring out the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her.” 23 And the young men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. So they brought out all her relatives and left them outside the camp of Israel. We can clearly see the principle of the covering of the blood here in practice over Rahab and her family. She obeyed and placed the scarlet cord outside of her window and God’s judgment passed over her. Everyone in her house was saved. What do we know from these scriptures thus far? Life is in the blood and to live, we need the blood of Jesus covering us against the judgment of the law from God. Hebrews 9:11-15 NKJV 11 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things [c ]to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, [d ]sanctifies for the [e ]purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without [f ]spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. Hebrews 9:16-22 NKJV 16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. 19 For when Moses had spoken every [g ]precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.” 21 Then likewise he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. 22 And according to the law almost all things are [h ]purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no [i ]remission. The purpose of the blood is to make a binding covenant, and Jesus is the new covenant. Just like Moses placed blood on the Covenant of the Law, Jesus’ blood becomes the binding element of the new covenant. This new covenant, Jesus’ sacrifice with His blood keeps us from the judgment of the law from God. In essence, He fulfilled the law. Hebrews 9:28 NKJV 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation. Jesus’ sacrifice was offered to bear the sins of many. Do you believe? Now, what does this mean for today’s believers? If we truly believe Jesus is the Son of God, then we need to believe judgment will pass over us. How do we apply the blood of Jesus over us? We become saved. Romans 10:9 NKJV 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. It takes faith to believe but believing comes by confession. Hebrews 11:1 NKJV Now faith is the [a ]substance of things hoped for, the [b ]evidence of things not seen. When we confess, we are takin a step of faith to speak to something we cannot see, but that’s how God works. He wants you to take that step of faith. Now, one you believe, you can rest assure that God’s judgment will not come against you. You will not die and live eternally separate from God. John 3:16 NKJV 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. You now have eternal life. This means that now you can walk your daily life ‘knowing’ that you are covered by the blood of Jesus and God’s judgment for your sin is null and void. You see, the devil will continue to tell you otherwise. He will tell God that you are guilty, and note, you once were. But as a believer, the blood of Jesus covers you and cancels the judgment against you. The devil may throw a hissy fit but in reality, the devil or any of God’s judgments cannot touch you because Jesus’ sacrifice saves you. Romans 10:17 NKJV 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Remember this scripture from earlier: Romans 3:25 NKJV 25 whom God set forth as a [h ]propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, We need to believe and walk in faith by confession of the mouth. When we declare the blood of Jesus covers us in faith, the cloud of witnesses listening in, angels, demons, God, the Holy Spirit move on your behalf with your declaration. When declare the blood of Jesus over your finances, health, life, salvation, etc you are telling those cloud of witnesses that you believe in faith that the judgment against you is canceled, null and void. The judgment no longer affects you. What does this mean? It means that you are now joint heir with Christ. You believe that you are covered by His blood and you are justified to walk with Christ, in His anointing and in His consequences. John 16:33 NKJV 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you [a ]will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” It means that when an attack comes (not if), it cannot prosper. Attacks will come but Jesus said He overcame the world. As a believer, joint heir with Him, that also means we have overcome the world too. Isaiah 54:17 KJV 17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord. Declare the blood of Jesus over every aspect of your life daily demonstrating your faith to God that you believe. The confession starts in the mouth but belief through faith declares righteousness. Romans 10:9-10 NKJV 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. We don't declare the blood to make Jesus' sacrifice effective. We declare our faith because His sacrifice is already sufficient! Do you believe? Are you declaring with Faith? There’s no better time to begin than now. Home

OBEYING GOD AND CONSEQUENCES To emphasize the importance of complete obedience to God’s Word and His commandments, showing that partial obedience is still disobedience, and that rejecting God’s instructions leads to severe and sometimes irreversible consequences. This lesson calls believers to humility, true repentance, and wholehearted submission to the Lord’s voice, reminding us that obedience is better than sacrifice. OBEYING GOD AND CONSEQUENCES Minister Lisa Kane March 18, 2021 Objective: To emphasize the importance of complete obedience to God’s Word and His commandments, showing that partial obedience is still disobedience, and that rejecting God’s instructions leads to severe and sometimes irreversible consequences. This lesson calls believers to humility, true repentance, and wholehearted submission to the Lord’s voice, reminding us that obedience is better than sacrifice. Synopsis: In 1 Samuel 15, King Saul is commanded by God through the prophet Samuel to utterly destroy the Amalekites as a judgment for their past rebellion against Israel. Instead of fully obeying, Saul spares King Agag and keeps the best of the livestock, justifying his disobedience as an act of sacrifice to God. When confronted, Saul shifts blame to the people and offers excuses rather than true repentance. Samuel rebukes him with the piercing truth: “To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.” Because of Saul’s rebellion and stubbornness, God rejects him as king, and the kingdom is torn away from him. The lesson illustrates how disobedience, even when disguised as religious intention, is rebellion against God and carries serious consequences. Saul’s insincere repentance—still laced with excuses—further exposes his unwillingness to take responsibility, contrasting with the sincere humility God desires from His people. The account warns us that rebellion is like witchcraft and stubbornness is like idolatry, showing how dangerous it is to reject God’s Word. Believers today must understand that God’s commandments are not optional. Even when His instructions are difficult or beyond our understanding, obedience is required. Partial obedience is still sin. Yet God’s mercy is available through sincere repentance and confession in Christ (Romans 10:9-10). The call is to turn away from rebellion, embrace God’s Word as the ultimate authority, and walk in obedience so that His blessings, protection, and presence may remain upon us (Psalm 91). Inspired Teaching: 1 Samuel 15:1-9 NKJV 15 Samuel also said to Saul, “The Lord sent me to anoint you king over His people, over Israel. Now therefore, heed the voice of the words of the Lord. 2 Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he ambushed him on the way when he came up from Egypt. 3 Now go and attack[a] Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them. But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’ ” 4 So Saul gathered the people together and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men of Judah. 5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the valley. 6 Then Saul said to the Kenites, “Go, depart, get down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them. For you showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt.” So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. 7 And Saul attacked the Amalekites, from Havilah all the way to Shur, which is east of Egypt. 8 He also took Agag king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword. 9 But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed. In the above scriptures, you can see that Saul and the people decided on their own to pick and choose what they would save vs destroying. God has a reason for destroying this race. They’re descendants from the giants and God cursed them before the flood. He was using Israel to fully destroy them completing His word against the giants. Another words, this was a race that had mixed blood between spirit realm and humanity. This is what the giants did when the watchers mated by taking humans wives for themselves. Genesis 6:1-2 NKJV 6 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. Isaiah 1:18 NKJV 18 “Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. We may not always understand why God has certain commandments in place, but we need to obey them. We can go to Him and ask Him for understanding but the end act still results in obedience, otherwise there are consequences and having God reject you is an awful consequence you do not want to experience. 1 Samuel 15:10-23 NKJV 10 Now the word of the Lord came to Samuel, saying, 11 “I greatly regret that I have set up Saul as king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not performed My commandments.” And it grieved Samuel, and he cried out to the Lord all night. 12 So when Samuel rose early in the morning to meet Saul, it was told Samuel, saying, “Saul went to Carmel, and indeed, he set up a monument for himself; and he has gone on around, passed by, and gone down to Gilgal.” 13 Then Samuel went to Saul, and Saul said to him, “Blessed are you of the Lord! I have performed the commandment of the Lord.” 14 But Samuel said, “What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?” 15 And Saul said, “They have brought them from the Amalekites; for the people spared the best of the sheep and the oxen, to sacrifice to the Lord your God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.” 16 Then Samuel said to Saul, “Be quiet! And I will tell you what the Lord said to me last night.” And he said to him, “Speak on.” 17 So Samuel said, “When you were little in your own eyes, were you not head of the tribes of Israel? And did not the Lord anoint you king over Israel? 18 Now the Lord sent you on a mission, and said, ‘Go, and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them until they are [b]consumed.’ 19 Why then did you not obey the voice of the Lord? Why did you swoop down on the [c]spoil, and do evil in the sight of the Lord?” 20 And Saul said to Samuel, “But I have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and gone on the mission on which the Lord sent me, and brought back Agag king of Amalek; I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. 21 But the people took of the plunder, sheep and oxen, the best of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal.” 22 So Samuel said: “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of [d]witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king.” Notice two things going on here. The king blamed the disobedience on the people in essence lying to God about obeying His commandments. Second, he kept twisting his response to say that yes, he did obey God’s commandments ‘for the most part’. (That part is implied but God knows the truth.) Question, do you think Saul was aware of what he was doing? I’m pretty certain he was and when dealing with other people in a situation like this, you usually can talk your way out of the disobedience, but Saul learned quickly he couldn’t talk his way out of this one with Samuel. Then Saul tried another approach. 1 Samuel 15:24-29 NKJV 24 Then Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voice. 25 Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and return with me, that I may worship the Lord.”26 But Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you, for you have rejected the word of the Lord, and the Lord has rejected you from being kin g over Israel.”27 And as Samuel turned around to go away, Saul seized the edge of his robe, and it tore. 28 So Samuel said to him, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you. 29 And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor relent. For He is not a man, that He should relent.” Saul tried repenting with a lie. By still blaming the people in saying he obeyed their voice vs God’s voice, he said he was sorry but in reality, he still blamed the people and didn’t take responsibility for his sin. Samuel still didn’t fall for the false repentance. Look what happened. God removed Saul from being king over Israel and because Saul realized that it was too late and tried to physically man handled Samuel into accepting his repentance, and ending up tearing his robe, Samuel proclaimed the kingdom will be torn from him. 1 Samuel 15:23 NKJV 23 For rebellion is as the sin of [d]witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king.” Because Saul rejected the word of God, God rejected him from being king. Every time you reject God, He rejects you. And some of the things you reject have permanent consequences, such as Saul no longer being king. There are consequences but it’s not too late. Humble yourself and repent. Return to God and heed His Word. Exodus 15:26 NKJV 26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.” Romans 10:9-10 NKJV 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. To repent, confess with your mouth and be sincere. Don’t be like Saul. Say this out loud: Dear Jesus, forgive me of my sins and come into my heart and be my Lord and savior. I’m sorry that I’ve disobeyed Your Word but I choose to no longer do that. In Jesus’ Name, Amen! Now seek God’s Word and find out what His commandments are so you can walk in obedience. Note, you’re still responsible in ignorance. And don’t depend on people or non-biblical sources to tell you what God’s commandments are. Find out direct from the source – The Bible. And once you find out, obey them. Once you place God’s commandments first in the center of your life, everything lines up. Blessings come your way and God says He knows you. Does God know who you are? If He knows you, you’re protected. Psalm 91:1-16 NKJV He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” 3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the [a]fowler And from the perilous pestilence. 4 He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and [b]buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, 6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. 8 Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, 10 No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; 11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. 12 In their hands they shall [c]bear you up, Lest you [d]dash your foot against a stone. 13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. 14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will [e]set him on high, because he has known My name. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With [f]long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.” Previous Next Home

NO FEAR OF GOD IN THE LAND The objective of this teaching is to awaken believers to the reality that the absence of reverential fear of God in society leads to moral decline, deception, violence, and judgment. It emphasizes the urgency of repentance, faith in Jesus Christ, and steadfastness in God’s love and truth to withstand the delusions of the last days. NO FEAR OF GOD IN THE LAND Pastor Marcos Marrero October 16, 2022 Objective: The objective of this teaching is to awaken believers to the reality that the absence of reverential fear of God in society leads to moral decline, deception, violence, and judgment. It emphasizes the urgency of repentance, faith in Jesus Christ, and steadfastness in God’s love and truth to withstand the delusions of the last days. Synopsis: In No Fear of God in the Land, Pastor Marcos Marrero examines Amos 6:3 as a prophetic warning against those who dismiss the coming day of judgment and perpetuate violence. He begins by defining the fear of God as reverential awe, written into humanity’s very being, reminding us that mortality confronts us with the inevitability of death and judgment (Ecclesiastes 12:14; Hebrews 9:27). Our spirits are immortal, returning to God at death, and our souls require deliverance from sin through faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:9). The message contrasts mortality versus immortality and highlights the eternal consequences of neglecting salvation. Pastor Marcos explains that wickedness cannot deliver the soul, and delaying repentance until after death is futile. Christ alone provides rest and redemption, and we are called to fear God, who alone has authority over both body and soul (Matthew 10:28). Moving to the broader societal implications, Pastor Marcos warns that nations abandoning Judeo-Christian values exchange love for hate and good for evil, fulfilling prophecies of rebellion against God (Psalm 2; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). This rebellion accelerates violence and hastens God’s judgment. He calls for repentance and revival (Amos 5:4-6; Habakkuk 3:2), noting that without it, humanity faces perilous times as described in 2 Timothy 3:1-5. Believers are exhorted to resist the spirit of hate and deception by clinging to God’s Word, love, and truth (Romans 12:1-2; 1 John 4:19-20). Love and good go hand in hand, just as hate and evil do. Expressing God’s love to others shields us from the corruption of hate and anchors us in God’s reality. Pastor Marcos concludes with the assurance that God’s mercy and truth work together to bring righteousness and peace (Psalm 85:10-12), encouraging the faithful to remain steadfast in reverential fear, awaiting God’s deliverance. Inspired Teaching: Amos 6:3 “Woe to you who put far off the day of doom, who cause the seat of violence to come near.” One of the meanings for the word Fear is to have a Reverential awe towards God! Instinctively we know that God is both—the Creator and the Judge. We are also able to comprehend that after death we have to face our own personal judgment before God. But in a grander scale we also—by way of instinct—realize that all of humanity will at one point come to its final conclusion. Ecclesiastes 12:14 “For God will bring EVERY WORK INTO JUDGMENT, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.” Capitals in the Scriptures added by me for emphasis. This reverential awe towards our Creator has been written within our genetic code. The spiritual dynamics of Love and Hate and of Good and Evil are also written within our genetic code. What does it all means? MORTALITY verses IMMORTALITY! Ecclesiastes 8:8 “No one has power over the spirit to retain the spirit, and no one has power in the day of death. There is no release from that war, and wickedness will not deliver those who are given to it.” No one can stop themselves from dying because we cannot retain our spirit to keep it from leaving us. What that means is that our spirits are immortal, and when we die it leaves us and returns to God who gave it to us in the first place. Ecclesiastes 12:7 “Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.” There is a war however, between our spirit and our flesh or between mortality and immortality; and no one is released from that war until the day we die and face that final Judgment. Hebrews 9:27 “And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.” The verse: Wickedness will not deliver those who are given to it; this is a reference to our souls which are immortal as well, but have been corrupted by wickedness and thereby in need of deliverance before we face the final judgment after we die. Ecclesiastes 9:5 “For the living know that they will die; but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward…” Provision has to be made for our souls before we die and face the judgment. How do we do that? We have to believe that only God has the power to condemn or to free our souls while we are alive, if we wait until after we die it is too late. Today is the day of salvation do not put it off. Mathew 10:28 “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather FEAR (have a Reverential awe towards God) Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Mathew 11:29 “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Rest for our souls can only be found in the atoning blood of Jesus and can only be received by faith as we believe in our hearts that God raise Jesus from the dead and confess with our mouths that He is our Lord. Romans 10:9 “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, YOU WILL BE SAVED (your soul will be delivered from hell).” Now concerning the spiritual dynamics between Good and Evil and Love and Hate; when there is a healthy respect or godly fear of the law of God and of the final judgment, society functions on the premises that Love is Good and that the government’s concerns is for the well being of those they rule over; even within the enforcement of justice. Grace is the overall goal or remedy, that as long as there is life there is the hope for redemption for every lost soul. The nations whose governments functioned under the guidance of Judeo Christian values enjoyed by far the most liberty and prosperities ever known in the history of man. Psalm 2:1-3 “Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His anointed, saying, let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away Their cords from us.” We are living in the presence of this prophecy being fulfilled, as one by one all the nations of the free world have turned their backs on the biblical principles that made them free and prosperous. What are the spiritual implications that we are experiencing as a result of their rebellion? We are in the transition of leaving behind love for what is good and entering into the depravity of hateful evil. The nations have fallen for the demonic delusion of good is bad and bad is good. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the LOVE OF THE TRUTH, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that THEY ALL may be CONDEMNED who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” Remember the Scripture that said: “There is no release from that war, and wickedness will not deliver those who are given to it.” Also, we see in our opening Scripture that as this transition is taking place it has repercussions upon the inhabitants of this earth: “Who cause the seat of violence to come near.” The seat of God’s judgment day gets closer and closer the more and more that wickedness increases on the land. But God is looking for repentance, a turning away from evil. Amos 5:4, 6 “For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek Me and live. 6) Seek the Lord and live, lest He brake out like fire in the house of Joseph and devour it…” In the absence of a world-wide revival that would bring most of the nations of the world to their knees in true repentance—sad to say—this is it! The signs that we are rushing head long into the end of days are overwhelming. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 “BUT KNOW THIS, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. AND FROM SUCH PEOPLE TURN AWAY!” How do we keep ourselves from falling for this great delusion? Remember always the spiritual dynamics that are involved in what is taking place. Love vs. Hate and Good vs. Evil. We must resist the temptation to give into the rage of hate, by keeping God’s Word alive in our hearts: Always abiding in the love of God that preserves us. Habakkuk 3:2 “O Lord, I have heard Your speech and was afraid; O lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years! In the midst of the years make it known; IN WRATH REMEMBER MERCY.” 1 Peter 4:7-8 “But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And ABOVE ALL THINGS have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins.” As long as our moral compass is anchored in the love of God, we will always have a firm grip on reality and a firm hold on to what is good and thereby refrain from that which is not. Romans 12:1-2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be COMFORMED to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that GOOD and acceptable and perfect will of God.” We can then see that Hate and Evil always go hand in hand, we cannot have one without the other. Hatred is the personification of evil itself, we should never give in to the venom of hate. 1 John 4:19-20 “We love Him because He first loved us. If someone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?” Every time that we express God’s love and goodness to others we are insulating ourselves from the toxicity of hate and evil. Such is the work of the spiritual dynamics between Love and Good. Psalm 85:10-12 “Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed. Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yes, the Lord will give what is GOOD; and our land will yield its increase.” Here we see the same spiritual dynamics at work, but this time for the Good of all mankind. The truth that springs upward from the earth is our faith in the Word of God, and heaven’s response is righteousness rained down from heaven upon us who faithfully believe and wait fervently for His appearing. Here is a prayer of gratitude from one of His maidservants: Luke 1:46-55 “And Mary said: My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant; for behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed. For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. and His mercy is on those who FEAR (have a Reverential awe towards God) Him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with His arm; He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy, as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever.” Previous Next Home

THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS POWER The objective of The Kingdom of God and His Power is to help believers understand the true meaning and function of the Kingdom of God in the dispensation of grace. This lesson seeks to reveal the difference between salvation and entering into God’s Kingdom power, to guide believers on how to receive and operate in this power, and to emphasize the responsibility and love required when walking in the authority that Jesus brought to Earth. THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS POWER Minister Lisa Kane Objective: The objective of The Kingdom of God and His Power is to help believers understand the true meaning and function of the Kingdom of God in the dispensation of grace. This lesson seeks to reveal the difference between salvation and entering into God’s Kingdom power, to guide believers on how to receive and operate in this power, and to emphasize the responsibility and love required when walking in the authority that Jesus brought to Earth. Synopsis: In The Kingdom of God and His Power, Minister Lisa Kane examines the biblical distinction and significance of the terms “Kingdom of God” and “Kingdom of Heaven,” found exclusively in the New Testament. Both phrases, appearing a combined 100 times, point to the dispensation of grace—the era believers now live in. The lesson highlights that the Kingdom of God is not only about eternal life in heaven but also about spiritual power and authority accessible on Earth. Through passages such as Matthew 12:28 and John 3:3–5, the teaching explains that entering the Kingdom involves being born again, baptized, and walking in the Spirit. This entry is not about salvation alone—since anyone who calls on the name of the Lord is saved (Romans 10:13)—but about receiving the power to heal, deliver, and overcome spiritual warfare. The message emphasizes that believers must separate from unrighteous lifestyles listed in 1 Corinthians 6:9–10 in order to operate in Kingdom power. At the same time, it cautions against judgmental attitudes, teaching that the Kingdom must be established through love (1 Corinthians 13). The ultimate call is for Christians to embrace their spiritual responsibilities with humility, compassion, and obedience so that the Kingdom of God is manifested in their lives and in the world around them. Inspired Teaching: First know this. The actual phrases ‘Kingdom of God’ and ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ only exists in the New Testament. This tells me that this phrase belongs to the dispensation of grace, meaning the time we’re in now. Also know this, the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven are used interchangeably throughout the New Testament. The Kingdom of God is found 69 times in the New Testament. The Kingdom of Heaven is found 31 times in the New Testament. So if this is for the dispensation of grace, what is it? Let’s break down the root of the statement. According to dictionary.com, kingdom means “a state or government having a king or queen as its head.” According to dictionary.com, God means “the one Supreme Being, the creator and ruler of the universe.” And according to dictionary.com, heaven means “the abode of God, the angels, and the spirits of the righteous after death; the place or state of existence of the blessed after the mortal life.” The reason God and Heaven are interchangeable is because God dwells in us and we in Him. God is spirit and heaven is a spiritual place. Wherever God is, there is heaven and if God dwells in us and we in Him, then we’ve already begun our journey towards heaven. Think of it like this: 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.” We don’t have to wait for death to happen for us to begin experiencing heaven. We have heaven now. Another thing to think about here is that when Jesus died on the cross, the temple veil was torn in two. Matthew 27:51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; This means that Jesus removed the separation between God and man thus bringing the Kingdom of God to Earth. So again, what is the Kingdom of God? This was so important that both of these phrases together were mentioned 100 times in the New Testament. Mark 4:11 And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, The Kingdom of God relates to spiritual power or the spiritual warfare one deals with during the dispensation of grace. Matthew 12:28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. Look how specific Matthew 12:28 is. Jesus is clearly saying that by casting out demons by the Spirit of God then the Kingdom of God is upon you. So that reaffirms that the Kingdom of God is spiritual power in the dispensation of grace. Now how does this work? First, we know that to be with God is to believe in God or as Jesus put it in John 3:3, we must be born again. John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” And right after that, Jesus was even more specific by saying: John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. Entering the Kingdom of God means entering into God’s power. Now let me make something clear here. Entering the Kingdom of God is different than entering heaven. Remember above-mentioned scripture in Matthew 12:28, that by casting out demons the Kingdom of God is upon you. Remember what Romans says which brings a distinct difference between spiritual warfare and going to heaven: Romans 10:13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Calling on God is different than entering the Kingdom of God. Entering the Kingdom of God deals with spiritual matters HERE ON EARTH and no one can just have any of God’s power; hence there are rules to follow. The person who decides to enter into this power with God must be ready to accept the responsibilities associated with this power. Casting out demons has nothing to do with going to heaven. Once you understand that, you understand why so many people become confused and get upset when they think they can’t go to heaven or someone tells them they won’t go to heaven unless they change their lifestyle because of the sin he or she is living in. Keep the Bible simple. Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved; hence that person is going to heaven. And you only have to call on him once…Jesus only died once on the cross. But if you’re beyond just calling on the name of the Lord to be saved, then you’re ready to enter the Kingdom of God, which is the spiritual power God has for His people. That means separating you from this world and entering into this Kingdom that Jesus brought to Earth with Him when He ministered during His lifetime. And to obtain that power, one must ‘enter’ the Kingdom of God. How does one enter the Kingdom of God? Matthew 21:31 Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to Him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you. Jesus is very specific to who enters this kingdom. As stated in Matthew 21:30 & 31 in a parable He spoke to the Pharisees, He mentions that tax collectors and harlots enter before them. That’s not to say the Pharisees wouldn’t have but the Pharisees had some internal heart issues they needed to take care of before they could enter the Kingdom of God. Another way He mentioned it: Matthew 19:24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Mark 10:15 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.” Luke 6:20 [ The Beatitudes ] Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: “Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God. Also remember above, Jesus in John 3 mentioned being born again and baptized or born of water and spirit. (John 3:3 and 3:5). Again, let’s keep in mind that baptizing isn’t to enter heaven, but it is to enter into the power of the Kingdom of God. And when do we need this power? Not when we get to heaven but while we’re here on Earth. Remember, Jesus’ ministry did not begin until He was baptized. This is very important. By the way, how does one become born again? Here’s how: Romans 10:9 New King James Version (NKJV) 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Speak up. That’s right. Speak with your mouth to God, believing that Jesus is real because God raised Him from the dead, and simply say, “I confess Lord that You are God and I ask You to forgive me of my sins. I believe You are Lord and I ask You to be Lord of my life. Thank You!” Then get baptized. Now you’ve just entered the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is power. Power to save, heal, and deliver. Key here is to LET THE HOLY SPIRIT TEACH YOU about His power. This is a personal journey you’re ready to live. Start reading the gospels and Acts in the New Testament. This will help you understand the power Jesus and His disciples demonstrated that you’re ready to begin using too. While you’re going through this journey, you’re going to find yourself faced with some serious decisions to make here. For example, God will lead you on a journey to separate yourself from the world. Here’s a list of items Paul clearly makes that you can’t participate in if you want to be a part of the Kingdom of God or a part of demonstrating His power here on Earth: 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 New King James Version (NKJV) 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. As you can see, one must separate oneself from these items to operate in the Kingdom of God. That doesn’t mean you can hate or hurt those that choose to live his or her life as a fornicator, idolater, etc. Everybody has a choice on how he or she wants to live his or her life. You yourself are looking at a change, which is why you’re reading this. How can you live moving in the power of God if you’re heart isn’t right on viewing those who need God? I’ll end with this. Show love and compassion with the above scripture. By doing this, you demonstrate and establish the Kingdom of God in you and everything around you. 1 Corinthians 13 New King James Version (NKJV) The Greatest Gift 13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Previous Next Home

VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE The objective of this teaching is to reveal the profound relationship between the visible physical world and the invisible spiritual realm, as outlined in Scripture. Pastor Marcos aims to help believers understand how spiritual realities govern the natural, how the Word of God is the sustaining force of all creation, and how through Christ, we have access to the authority, keys, and power to operate effectively in both realms. VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of this teaching is to reveal the profound relationship between the visible physical world and the invisible spiritual realm, as outlined in Scripture. Pastor Marcos aims to help believers understand how spiritual realities govern the natural, how the Word of God is the sustaining force of all creation, and how through Christ, we have access to the authority, keys, and power to operate effectively in both realms. Synopsis: In VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, Pastor Marcos explores the truth of Colossians 1:16, emphasizing that all things—both seen and unseen—were created through Christ and for Christ. The lesson highlights that the invisible realm represents the spiritual dimension, composed of energy and eternal realities, while the visible realm reflects the temporary, three-dimensional physical world. Pastor Marcos explains that although unseen, the spiritual dimension constantly interacts with and influences the visible world. Drawing on biblical and scientific parallels, he shows how God’s Word is the life-giving energy that holds all things together. Through Christ, believers have been delivered from darkness and transferred into the kingdom of light, gaining authority to bind and loose in both realms (Matthew 16:19). The teaching underscores the significance of spiritual understanding: we are called not to focus on temporary, visible things, but on eternal, invisible truths (2 Corinthians 4:18). With the keys of the kingdom and the name of Jesus, believers can access the authority that transcends heaven, earth, and even the underworld. Ultimately, Pastor Marcos affirms that all creation finds its origin, purpose, and reconciliation in Christ, through whom God has released the sustaining energy of His Word to empower His people for victory. Inspired Teaching: Colossians 1:16 “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.” Whenever the Bible talks about invisible things it is referring to the spiritual realm, in this case it is dealing with the interactions of the spiritual realm with the visible physical realm. Since the visible realm is three dimensional, when you associate it with the invisible spiritual dimension it becomes fourfold, that is why our text includes a fourfold reference to the creation: Thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. The epistle to the Colossians gives us tremendous insight into how the visible and invisible creation interacts and operates. Let us define first the difference between the physical and spiritual dimensions so that we can learn the mysteries of how the invisible world operates and learn how much it influences our physical world. Colossians 1:12 “Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light (energy).” The spiritual or invisible realm is one that is made of energy, we cannot see energy that is why it is invisible to us. The creatures that live in the spiritual realm are made of energy that is why we cannot see them either. But the fact that we cannot see them does not mean that it does not exist and they are not actively interacting with the visible realm. As a matter of fact, at the core of all physical tangible matter there is an invisible quantum reality that science is still trying to explain. From the Bible we know that the spiritual realm is an eternal one, and so science has discovered that the sub-atomic particles that give form to all physical matter transcend time and space, that is they can be in two separate places at the same time. 2 Corinthians 4:18 “While we do not look (put our focus on) at the things which are seen (visible), but at the things which are not seen (invisible). For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” Now when Paul says that we have been qualified to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light, what he is telling us is that we have been given power to manipulate that invisible energy, which is radically awesome if we can just barely grasp its implications. Colossians 1:9 “For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.” Paul is so excited about the faith of the Colossians in the Gospel of truth that was preached to them, that he is telling them that he cannot wait to see them come into the revelation knowledge of what just happened to them, through the agency of spiritual understanding. Just as he was telling the Corinthians not to put their focus on the mundane visible things, but to put their hope on the eternal invisible things that are not of this world. Can we get just as excited as Paul was about the reality that we too have received the Gospel of truth, and that we also have been qualified to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light? We should! Colossians 1:13 “He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed (transferred) us into the kingdom of the Son of His love.” This three-dimensional world has been plunged into spiritual darkness by the devil and all his minions, Jesus has delivered us from the darkness of this physical world and has placed us in the high, and out of this world kingdom of the Son of His love. John 8:23 “...You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.” What does it all mean to us, what are the advantages of being able to operate in the kingdom of the light? Matthew 16:19 “And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven (spiritual invisible realm), and whatever you bind on earth (physical visible realm) will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” A key is used to unlock things that we previously had no access to, a key can also be used to lock things up that we do not want anybody to steal from us, why would Jesus give us the key if we did not have with it the access to the lock as well? Now as we look at this verse of Scripture from the scientific point of view, and know that all physical things are held together by this invisible force that holds the atomic particles together that form all that is tangible, then we can extrapolate that we have been given the power to loose that which is bound, and to bound that which is loose, whether in the invisible fourth dimension called heaven, or the physical three dimension we call earth. Colossians 1:10 “That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.” Obviously, we need to know and we need to understand how it all works, that is if we want to put it to good use, for we can also read in the text of what Jesus told us, as binding on earth that which has already been bound in heaven, and loosing on earth that which has already been loosed in heaven, so that spiritual understanding is critical. All things were created through Him and for Him. Our opening text. Rule number one, follow The Word! John 1:1-3 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” Now if we want to fully understand the meaning of how The Word created everything we need to know what The Word of God is. Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is living (life giving) and powerful (energy)…” The Word of God is life giving, life sustaining energy. When God said, Let there be light, He released all the energy that exists in the universe today, and it was out of that energy that all physical tangible matter was formed, including intelligent human life. John 1:4 “In Him (The Word) was life, and the life was the light of (the energy that created) man.” So that all things were created and are sustained by The Word of God including intelligent human life. At the very core of our physical being we are held together by the energy that is in The Word of God. So that whatever is loosed on the earth that the Word of God tells us should be bound, we have power in the name of Jesus, The Word of God, to bind it and vice versa. John 16:24 “Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” We have access into the invisible spiritual realm in the name of Jesus. Philippians 2:9-10 “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth.” Paul takes it one notch higher and tells us that in the name of Jesus we not only have the power to bind and to loose the very cords that hold everything together in the visible and invisible realms, but also over those under the earth, where the seat of demonic power resides in the belly of the underworld. That means that in the name of Jesus we have power over life and over death, as long as we follow the precepts laid out for us in His Word, to bring forth God’s reconciliation into this physical world. Colossians 1:19-20 “For it pleased the Father that in Him (Jesus) all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.” Previous Next Home

HOW TO DISTINGUISH THE VOICES IN MY HEAD The objective of this lesson is to equip believers with biblical understanding on how to recognize, discern, and respond to the different voices that arise within their minds. By grounding in Scripture, the teaching aims to help Christians separate the voice of God from the voice of self and the accusations of the enemy, thereby walking in unity of spirit, soul, and body and remaining blameless at the coming of Christ.

Synopsis: In How to Distinguish the Voices in My Head, Pastor Marcos Marrero teaches that God created humanity in His image with the ability to think, reason, and even converse within oneself, much like God spoke within the Trinity at creation. Because of this inner dialogue, believers must learn to identify the sources of the voices they hear in their minds. The first and most vital voice is the voice of God, embedded within the conscience of the born-again believer. Through sanctification and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, God instructs, convicts, and comforts His people, leading them in truth and righteousness. However, due to the fallen nature of man, the soul can be divided—what Scripture calls “double-minded”—where conflicting voices create instability and confusion. In such moments, the believer’s spirit must speak God’s Word in faith, as King David did, to align the soul with God’s promises. Pastor Marrero also highlights the voice of Satan, the accuser of the brethren, whose accusations and lies are directed toward the soul. These attacks often appear convincing because they appeal to human weakness, sickness, or failure, but the believer must counter them with the Word of God, prayer, and the testimony of faith. The antidote is the blood of Jesus and the confession of who we are in Christ: redeemed, victorious, righteous, and never abandoned. Ultimately, the teaching affirms that Jesus Christ came to restore the broken soul and heal the inner divisions caused by sin and the enemy’s deception. By holding fast to God’s Word, embracing the indwelling Spirit, and boldly approaching the throne of grace, believers can overcome the destructive voices in their heads and walk in the unity, peace, and assurance that God intends. Inspired Teaching: Genesis 1:26-27 “Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness…’ 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” God created us in His image, with the capacity to speak to ourselves, just like God spoke to Himself when He created us: Let Us make man in Our image. In this lesson we are going to try to sort out the different voices that we hear in our minds all the time, by learning what the Word of God has to say about these voices. The first and most important voice in our heads is the voice of God. His voice is embedded inside of our conscience in the spirit man, to teach us the difference between good and evil, love and hate, and of our desperate need for a living and forgiving Savior. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” I believe that all humans, because of our fallen nature, are born into this world with our spirit man separated from God; we are all conceived in sin and are born into this world spiritually dead. Sanctification starts with the born-again experience, when the Holy Spirit comes in and takes residence in the holy sanctum that God has reserved for Himself in the heart of every human spirit through the process of Justification. Satan is not allowed to enter the spiritual holy place in the human heart that is reserved for God’s Holy Spirit alone. 1 John 3:9 “Whoever has been born of God (born-again) does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin (justified by the blood of Jesus), because he has been born of God.” Ecclesiastes 12:7 “Then the dust (physical body) will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.” What does a person who has not been born-again lose when they die in their sin? They lose their soul! The seat of human understanding, which is our self-life, and all is lost because of paying attention to the deception of those voices in our heads that are contrary to the Word of God. Remember that God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 1 Peter 1:9 “Receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.” God wants our whole spirit, soul, and body to be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. With all these things in mind let us look at and try to understand how our minds work by knowing who the entities are behind the voices that we hear. When we are talking to ourselves inside our mind who is behind those two voices? According to James we can be double-minded or divided within ourselves. James 1:6-8 “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” Double-minded literally means having a divided soul, or two souls contending with one another. That takes place when our voice or thoughts within us are not in agreement with themselves. What do we do in that situation? From the spirit-man let the Word of the Lord go forth. If I am a born-again believer, I can speak to myself, or to my divided soul with words that originate from my born-again spirit. As born-again believers we have the privilege to communicate with God through prayer. Psalm 103:1-5 “Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” Here we see King David’s spirit speaking to his soul. In essence, he was speaking the Word of God to himself. Now we have an enemy that can also speak into our soul. He is called the accuser of the brethren, for he accuses us before the throne of God day and night. We have a choice as to whose words we are going to believe! Easier said than done right? We know that the enemy always couches his accusations according to the conditions that we are in. Sickness seems more real than the promises; we struggle with addictive behavior that does not want to go away…seems like we are out of our league in this spiritual battle. How do I pray? Psalm 86:11 “Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear (respect) Your name.” A united heart takes hold when the spirit-man tells the divided soul: You better get it together or you are going to miss out all the great and wonderful benefits that God has for us! Psalm 119:130 “The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” Faith opens the door that allows the light of God to enter and dispel the darkness that brought the confusion in the first place. But you must be born-again of the Spirit of God in order to work. 1 Corinthians 2:14 “But the natural man (soul) does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” Revelation 12:10-11 “Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, ‘Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.’” The last and most dreaded voice comes from the devil, the accuser of all the believers who have been born again of the Spirit of the Living God. His voice is external and accusative. Everything that he says is a lie and lies are his native language. He is full of deceit, always jealous, full of bitterness, and seeking unsuspected prey. The antidote for this supreme spirit of evil is the Blood of the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. It is important for us to know that Jesus is also the Word of the Living God, so that when our born-again spirit man speaks the Word of God in faith, all the works of the enemy are destroyed in the here and now. Psalm 23:1-3 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me besides the still waters. HE RESTORES MY SOUL; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” The human soul is the seat of our natural understanding, and is recorded in the annals of human history, the many horrible things that Satan and his minions have done to pervert the minds of their many human victims. Even today, there are countless humans whose minds have been subjected to the terrors and horrors of hell itself. You may be asking yourself this question: is there hope for me and my soul? Hebrews 3:7 “Therefore as the Holy Spirit says: Today if you will hear His voice.” Jesus came to heal your broken soul, if you believe in Him, His Holy Spirit is eagerly waiting for you to say: Come Holy Spirit I need you, come Holy Spirit I pray, come in Your might and Your power, come in Your own special way! Hebrews 4:14-16 “Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weakness, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Here are some biblical words we need to tell ourselves when overwhelmed by satanic accusations: I am not worthless; I have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus who is the Lamb of God! I am not a failure; My job here on earth is to believe in the One that God sent. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God who paid for my redemption in full with His own blood! I am not a loser; For My God always leads me triumphantly in the battle for my soul that He has already won! I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, Hallelujah! His mercy endures forever! I am not lost; Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; and after all, mine enemy is only a shadow full of empty words! Psalm 25:14 “The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant” Previous Next Home

THE YEAR OF MY REDEEMED The objective of The Year of My Redeemed is to present a biblical understanding of the close relationship between God’s vengeance and redemption, as revealed in Scripture. Pastor Marrero seeks to show that Christ’s return will be both a day of judgment for the rebellious and a day of deliverance for the faithful. The book urges believers to examine their readiness for Christ’s return, to boldly profess their faith, and to live in joyful anticipation of redemption, rather than in fear of judgment. THE YEAR OF MY REDEEMED Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: The objective of The Year of My Redeemed is to present a biblical understanding of the close relationship between God’s vengeance and redemption, as revealed in Scripture. Pastor Marrero seeks to show that Christ’s return will be both a day of judgment for the rebellious and a day of deliverance for the faithful. The book urges believers to examine their readiness for Christ’s return, to boldly profess their faith, and to live in joyful anticipation of redemption, rather than in fear of judgment. Synopsis: The Year of My Redeemed is a Scripture-based exploration of Isaiah 63:4, where the themes of vengeance and redemption converge. Pastor Marcos unpacks the dual nature of Christ’s return: for the oppressors and unbelievers, it is a day of dread and judgment; for the oppressed and redeemed, it is a day of joy and deliverance. Using supporting passages from Psalms, Isaiah, and the New Testament, he illustrates how God’s justice, grounded in truth and righteousness, brings both accountability and salvation. The work emphasizes that all humanity has fallen short of God’s glory, yet the Good News of salvation through Christ transforms the coming judgment into a moment of triumph for believers. Pastor Marcos provides a spiritual checklist to help readers evaluate their readiness: Are they openly professing faith in Christ? Do they acknowledge Him as Creator and Redeemer? Are they calling upon His holy name with boldness? He warns against timidity and compromise, reminding believers that salvation is found in no other name but Jesus. Ultimately, the message is both sobering and encouraging: this may indeed be the year of God’s redeemed. For those who love the Lord and hate evil, His return is a promise of deliverance. For those who resist His grace, it is the unveiling of divine vengeance. The book calls every reader to urgent decision—either to remain in rebellion or to embrace redemption, proclaiming with confidence, “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.” (Psalm 107:2) Inspired Teaching: Isaiah 63:4 “For the day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come.” Only in the Bible do we find this concept of vengeance and redemption so closely tied together, and to those who are worldly, this duality is very difficult to comprehend. While we, the children of faith, see Jesus and His soon return as our redemption drawing near, the world's concept of His return to the earth evokes fear and judgment, for they see Him as a vengeful God. To understand this duality, we need to understand the concept of justice. Psalm 96:13 “For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with His truth.” If you read the entire chapter, you will notice that there is a lot of singing and blessings and praise and offerings and worship, offered to the Lord throughout the entire Psalm 96, before it reaches the last verse which we just quoted, in regards to the judgment of the world. If you have been victimized by someone, when the legal authorities show up to intervene, you are happy, for the authorities come to assist those who have been victimize and to arrest those who were doing the victimizing. However, if you are the law breaker and are the one who is victimizing others, when you see the police show up, you just want to get away as soon as possible, for if they arrest you, you will have to go before the magistrate that will sentence you with the punishment that your crime deserves. So it is that the return of our Lord will always be awaited and celebrated by those who are the oppressed, and it is dreaded by those who are the oppressors. Psalm 97:2 “Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.” Simply put, the Lord will judge the peoples with His truth. But the truth is that we are all sinners, and we all fall short of the grace of God. Psalm 14:1 “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good.” So then why were all those folks in Psalm 96 rejoicing so much about the return of the Lord to judge all the peoples with His truth? Psalm 96:2 “Sing to the Lord, bless His name; proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.” Those who greatly rejoice about the return of our Lord to the earth, do so, because they have heard and accepted the good news of His salvation. For they know that when He returns, He is coming to deliver those who called upon His name and who have accepted God’s free offer of salvation. Psalm 97:10 “You who love the Lord, hate evil! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.” The good news is this: God loves us even though we fall short of His grace, He demonstrated His love for us by sending Jesus to die for all our sins. His unconditional love for us compels us to receive His offer of forgiveness and to love Him and trust Him in return. So that when we hear about His soon return, we dot not fret, but rather rejoice in the fact that He is coming to deliver us from this world of sin, and from the hand of the wicked one that continuously oppress us. But to those who have rejected His good news, and have chosen the pleasures of sin for a season, His return can only mean one thing, swift and complete judgment is at hand. Isaiah 63:3 “I have trodden the winepress alone, and from the peoples no one was with Me. For I have trodden them in My anger, and trampled them in My fury; their blood is sprinkled upon My garments, and I have stained all My robes.” The day of His vengeance and the year of His redeemed have to do with those who are His enemies and with those who are His saints. For He has caused His good news to travel all around the world, He has anointed His Word and revealed His love for us. Those who love Him and hate evil, He will come for and deliver them out of this world. Those who have resisted and rejected the anointed good news, will be judged as enemies who deserve to be destroyed. Isaiah 63:10 “But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; so He turned Himself against them as an enemy, and He fought against them.” This may very well be the year of His redeemed, are you ready? Here is a checklist of things that may help us identify whether we are ready for His return if it were to happen this year. Are you inwardly being restrained in your faith and the profession of it? Are you afraid or ashamed to openly declare your faith in Jesus? Matthew 10:32-33 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.” You be surprised to know how many people struggle with publicly professing their faith in Jesus, normally in the maturity process we eventually grow bold and overcome those fears. But if this is the year of His redeemed, you may not have that luxury. So, you better begin to make up your mind right now to declare His name openly and without fear. For as His return nears, we have no time for timidity, since we are commanded in: Psalm 96:2 “...Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.” Today, right now, would be a good time to start proclaiming His good news from day to day. Do you acknowledge Him as the Creator of heaven and earth? Do you acknowledge Him as your heavenly Father, and Jesus His only begotten Son as your redeemer? The world’s aim is to bring doubt into our hearts and minds. The so-called knowledge of the sciences is the vehicle that the devil uses to enter into our minds with his load of doubts. We need to know what the Word of God teaches about the sciences. Colossian 2:8-10 “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” Science teaches about the things that exist from the point of view of man’s limited understanding. We on the other hand, know the Creator, we believe in the creative power of His uncompromising Word. Do you call on His holy name? Did you know that salvation cannot be attained under any name or anything that is named, except in the name of Jesus? Acts 4:12 “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” It is all about Jesus my friends, and if this turns out to be the year when He returns to redeem His saints, let us, we the saints, never cease to profess, to acknowledge, and to proclaim His wonderful name boldly! Psalm 107:2 “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” Previous Next Home

AT HIS FOOTSTOOL The objective is to help believers understand the spiritual meaning of “His footstool” through Scripture and personal revelation—distinguishing between being placed under Christ as an enemy versus coming willingly in humility to worship at His feet. This teaching aims to deepen faith, encourage surrender, and lead believers into true worship rooted in humility, agreement with God, and the finished work of Jesus Christ. AT HIS FOOTSTOOL Minister Lisa Kane April 16, 2026 Objective: The objective is to help believers understand the spiritual meaning of “His footstool” through Scripture and personal revelation—distinguishing between being placed under Christ as an enemy versus coming willingly in humility to worship at His feet. This teaching aims to deepen faith, encourage surrender, and lead believers into true worship rooted in humility, agreement with God, and the finished work of Jesus Christ. Synopsis: In At His Footstool, Minister Lisa Kane explores a powerful vision and the biblical truth behind the phrase “His footstool.” Drawing from Psalms and Hebrews, the teaching reveals two distinct positions at the feet of Christ: one of defeat as an enemy, and one of surrender in worship. Through personal reflection and Scripture, Lisa confirms that believers in Christ are not enemies of God, but children redeemed by faith in Jesus. Yet, she challenges the heart posture of every believer by asking: are there moments when disagreement with God places us in opposition to His will? The teaching unfolds a deeper revelation—true worship at His footstool is an act of humility, agreement, and remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice. It is not about striving for salvation, but resting in the finished work of Jesus while honoring Him as King of Glory. With a powerful insight, the message also reframes the promise that Christ’s enemies will be made His footstool—not just as judgment, but as a potential transformation. Even enemies may be brought into humility, repentance, and worship. This study calls believers to live low before Him, worship in spirit and truth, and trust that God is drawing all things—even opposition—into alignment at the feet of Jesus. Inspired Teaching: Psalm 99:5 NKJV 5 Exalt the Lord our God, And worship at His footstool— He is holy. Psalm 132:8 NKJV 7 Let us go into His tabernacle; Let us worship at His footstool. Psalm 110:1 NKJV The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” Hebrews 10:12-14 NKJV 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being [d]sanctified. Two weeks ago I had a vision of being the footstool and Jesus’ feet upon my lap. I can see the holes and I was weeping. There are two points to take away from in this vision: 1.Either I am enemy 2.Or I worshipped at His feet Let’s start with number one. Am I an enemy of God? No. I declare out loud Jesus is the Son of God and He came in the flesh. I also know I am saved because I confessed my sins and I believe. 1 John 4:2-3 NKJV 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess [a]that Jesus [b]Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. Romans 10:9 NKJV 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. So, if I’m not an enemy, why would I be under His feet? Because I am not the Son of God and He is King of glory. Psalm 24:7-8 NKJV 7 Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle. Notice in our opening scriptures, “let us worship at His footstool”, which is point number two to take away from this Bible Study. As a believer in Christ, I can come to His footstool and ‘worship’ Him. In the vision I saw the holes in His feet and touched His feet. I can clearly feel His feet. I was worshipping Him in that vision. What’s the difference between being His enemy at His footstool or worshipping at His Footstool? Your belief. If you don’t believe in Him, you’re not worshipping. Instead, you are fighting everything God is trying to accomplish in your life and in the world. Now, here is something to think about. Even if you believe, are there areas that you disagree with God on? If so, then you are an enemy in that moment. I get it…we’re not God and we don’t always understand or know why things happen. Yet, if we can come to His footstool to ‘worship’, humble ourselves before the great deed Jesus did on the cross then we come in agreement with Him through humility. After all, He is the King of Glory. The idea of being under His feet is the way we should see ourselves always. It certainly will keep pride away and the moments when we think we’re doing something good ‘toward salvation’ when we’re not under the law anymore. Salvation is a gift and we need to remember His gift and worship in that gift – worship in spirit and in truth. John 4:24 NKJV 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” And here’s a beautiful golden nugget we can believe on from this Bible Study: “Til I make Your enemies Your footstool” – if worshipping at His footstool is exactly the attitude we need when worshipping, does this mean He’s bringing every enemy to this footstool for this attitude adjustment? Imagine if our enemies become saved…then they will be at the footstool too but instead of disagreeing and arguing with God, they will be humbled worshipping Him in humility. Reminder, pray for your enemies. God is working on bringing them to His footstool, and Jesus said He would not lose one. John 17:12 NKJV 12 While I was with them [e]in the world, I kept them in [f]Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is [g]lost except the son of [h]perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. Previous Next Home

A SPIRIT OF DEEP SLEEP HOVERS OVER AMERICA To awaken believers to the reality that America is under a spirit of deep sleep, leading to blindness, division, and moral decay, and to call the nation to repentance so that God’s intended destiny for America can be restored. A SPIRIT OF DEEP SLEEP HOVERS OVER AMERICA Pastor Marcos Marrero Objective: To awaken believers to the reality that America is under a spirit of deep sleep, leading to blindness, division, and moral decay, and to call the nation to repentance so that God’s intended destiny for America can be restored. Synopsis: In A Spirit of Deep Sleep Hovers Over America, Pastor Marcos draws from Isaiah 29:10 to expose the spiritual state of America. Just as Israel was blinded by disobedience, America too has fallen into slumber, having lost her moral compass and forsaken the founding principles rooted in God’s will. The silence of prophets and seers, coupled with leaders who honor God with their lips but deny Him in their hearts, has left the nation vulnerable to deception. Pastor Marcos identifies how modern culture—driven by politics, entertainment, and punditry—teaches morality based on the commandments of men rather than the Word of God. This has produced blindness, corruption, and a false sense of security. Yet Isaiah’s warning also carries hope: if the nation repents and returns to God, understanding and true doctrine will be restored. Ultimately, the message is a prophetic call for America to awaken, repent, and reclaim her divine destiny. Without repentance, judgment is inevitable, but with repentance, God promises renewal and the lifting of the spirit of deep sleep. Inspired Teaching: Isaiah 29:10 “For the Lord has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, namely, the prophets; and He has covered your heads, namely, the seers.” These are indeed difficult times for the faithful here in America, it does not take a political or economic expert to realize that our nation is in great trouble. Morally speaking it’s even worst, we are bitterly divided, and have lost our sense of direction, and it does not look as if it’s going to get better anytime soon. In our Scripture it declares that a spirit is the culprit, a spirit of deep sleep. Now within the context, Isaiah is speaking to Jerusalem, the city of David. But within the greater context, Isaiah’s prophecy can be applied to any great nation that has lost its moral compass. Is there any doubt about America’s greatness? Surely not. Is there any doubt that America has lost her sense of direction? Not from where I’m standing. In this chapter Isaiah is lamenting about the blindness that is caused by disobedience. When persons as well as nations betray the founding principles upon which they were called and/or built, they become blinded to their mission, and become bitterly divided within themselves. The question that I asked when I first read our Scripture, was basically this, what came first? The spirit of deep sleep that closed the eyes and covered the heads of the seers. Or was it the silence of the prophets and seers that allowed the spirit of deep sleep to enter? Some may say, it does not matter at this point. But for me it is important to know, because it is through understanding that wisdom materializes, and it is wisdom that affords us a way of escape, if there is one to be found. Isaiah 29:9 “Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind…” Let us pause and wonder here for a moment. How does a nation blinds itself? By refusing to follow its destiny! Here is where I, as a Christian, disagree with many secular conservative pundits. America is a great nation not because of the many great men and women of her illustrious history, who had great forth sight into the founding and direction that this nation was to follow, and we did have them, thank God. But that is not why America is a great nation, America was destined to become a great nation by God, and I maintain, that the founding fathers knew that, and that is what made them great, they understood the will of God for the nation that they were founding. Isaiah 29:13 “Therefore the Lord said: ‘Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men.’” Have you notice how politicians here in America, after giving some great speech to their constituencies always seem to end with the phrase; God bless America. They honor God with their lips, but they really do not desire God’s will for America in their own hearts. If they did, they wouldn't be doing the things that they do behind our backs. Isaiah 29:15 “Woe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from the Lord, and their works are in the dark; they say, ‘Who sees us?’ and, ‘Who knows us?’” If there is a price for a Bible verse that most reveals how our political process works now days in America, I think I have the winning entry. What was it that the former speaker of the house once said? You have to pass the bill if you want to find out what’s in it. We are finding out alright, and it's not good, so, is par for the course. But here is where we really get into trouble; Fear toward Me (this is what God says) is taught by the commandment of men. Today, morality in America is taught by those whose hearts are far from God. The entertainment industry, whose primary goal is to please their audiences and to make money, are the main drivers of our present-day culture. Pundits who are more worried about ratings than what God says, are telling us, Bible thumping does not work, basically they are saying, keep your God out of it, after all we have made our own moral codes and they are based on the commandments of man, passed by legislators and judges who do their best works in secret, out of the people’s eyes. So, if in spite of all these facts, the citizens of America decide to follow their counsel, then, blind yourselves and be blind! Isaiah 29:14 “Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work among this people, a marvelous work and a wonder; for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.” This is how we can confirm that our nation is under a spirit of deep sleep; there is no one left on the scene that is wise or prudent enough to get us out of the mess we are in. The more they try, the deeper in the hole we get, is almost like quicksand. Every time we try to make our situation better by some legislative maneuver, it seems to work against us, and it just makes it worst, we just keep getting deeper in debt. Isaiah 29:8 “It shall be even as when a hungry man dreams, and look—he eats; but he awakes, and his soul still empty; or as when a thirsty man dreams, and look—he drinks; but he awakes, and indeed he is faint, and his soul still craves: so the multitude of all the nations shall be, who fight against Mount Zion.” Boy it cannot get any more real than what the Lord says; its like living in a dream, isn’t that what happens when you are under the influence of a spirit of deep sleep? We kid ourselves that everything is going to be alright in spite of the mess we are in, we believe it, and reassure ourselves of what we believe, but then we wake up and look at the facts, and man, it keeps getting worse, how is that for reality? One of two things will happen to us, either we as a nation wake up and repent, and ask the Lord to forgive us for deviating from the destiny for which He created America, or the Lord returns and takes the faithful away while He judges the ungodly for their ungodly acts that they have committed. Which one will it be? Well, if we repent this is what will happen: Isaiah 29:24 “These also who erred in spirit (of deep sleep) will come to understanding, and those who complained will learn doctrine.” What a beautiful promise, but here is the key; we have to come to an understanding of the truth before we can learn doctrine. Is America a special nation that God ordained to shine His light during trouble times? Yes, that is the truth! Is America currently living up to the founding principles for which God created her? No she is not, and that’s the truth! What if we do not repent as a nation? Isaiah 29:6 “ You will be punish by the Lord of hosts with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with storm and tempest and the flame of devouring fire.” The choice is clear, and no matter which pundits approve or disapprove, or what politicians or other groups are offended by our stance, our foundation is in the Bible and the confidence that we have on the inerrancy of the Holy Scriptures. Let not our speech be timid, for we have the truth on our side, so let us proclaim it boldly, for we do love this nation, and when we ask God for His blessings upon America is not a slogan that we say to incur favor with people; it flows out of a deeply thankful heart that realizes that without God’s favor upon them, the nations languish in spiritual darkness until they perish from the face of the earth to be no more.
